Okay, let's talk Hitori No Shita. Specifically, episode 1 of the English dub. You know, the one that started it all? Buckle up, because I might have some... thoughts.
The Opening Punch (Literally)
Right off the bat, we get a beating. Poor Zhang Chulan. Is he unlucky or what?
And then BAM! Zombie attack! I mean, who hasn't experienced that awkward zombie moment in a graveyard?
The Dubbing Dilemma
Now, let's address the elephant in the room: the dub. Some people *loved* it. Others? Not so much.
I'm... on the fence. It’s not terrible. But sometimes, it feels a little... off. Like they're trying too hard to be cool.
Feng Baobao: The Undead Mystery
Enter Feng Baobao. Our enigmatic, shovel-wielding, questionably-alive heroine. She's kinda the reason we're all here, right?
Her introduction is pure chaos. And let's be honest, a little confusing. Zombie apocalypse averted, thanks to a girl with a shovel and zero social skills.
Her dubbed voice? Intriguing. Is it supposed to sound perpetually confused? Because it works!
Zhang Chulan's… Interesting Decisions
Zhang Chulan makes some questionable choices in this episode. Like, REALLY questionable. Running directly *toward* the zombies? Come on, man!
And then trusting Feng Baobao immediately? Dude hasn't seen enough zombie movies. Red flags everywhere!
But hey, if he didn't make those choices, we wouldn't have a story, would we?
The Action Begins (Sort Of)
The fight scenes are... okay. Not the most groundbreaking animation, but they get the job done. Shovel vs. zombie horde? Surprisingly effective.
The English dub makes them sound even more ridiculous. Every grunt and groan is amplified. It's almost comical.
My Unpopular Opinion?
Okay, here it is. Ready? *Deep breath*. I actually found the English dub kind of… charming. Not perfect, mind you. But charming in its own weird way.
It's like they knew the show was a little bonkers and decided to lean into it. Embrace the silliness, people!
The over-the-top delivery. The slightly awkward translations. It all adds to the overall experience.
Look, I know purists will disagree. Subtitles are great, I get it. But sometimes, you just want to watch a show without having to read every line. Sue me!
Final Verdict (For Now)
Overall, Hitori No Shita English dub episode 1 is… an experience. It's got zombies, questionable decisions, and a girl with a shovel. What's not to love?
Is it perfect? Nope. Is it entertaining? Absolutely! I'm invested enough to see what happens next. Even with the wonky dub.
So, give it a try. Maybe you'll hate it. Maybe you'll love it. But you'll definitely have *an* opinion. And that's what matters, right?
